Two pairs of Mormon missionaries from America live in a beaten-up apartment in the Dutch city of Haarlem. Their personalities are distinctly different. Elder Johnson is the District Leader and oversees their efforts. His companion, the vain Elder Van Pelt, seeks to become the assistant to the mission president (the top post available) as soon as possible. The capable Elder Rogers has become disillusioned and inattentive to his duties ever since a previous missionary companion returned to America and married Elder Roger's girlfriend. The three meet Elder Roger's new companion, Elder Calhoun, in the train station. This new elder is a nerdy but enthusiastic "greenie" that has just arrived from the Missionary Training Center (MTC) in Utah. Unfortunately, his training did not give him much fluency in the Dutch language. But as luck would have it, the first person he approaches to proselytize is a fellow American named Kyle.

Dos parejas de misioneros mormones de América viven en un apartamento en la ciudad holandesa de Haarlem. Sus personalidades son muy diferentes. Elder Johnson es el Líder de Distrito y supervisa sus esfuerzos. Su compañero Elder Van Pelt, busca convertirse en el asistente del presidente de la misión (el puesto más alto disponible) tan pronto como sea posible. Elder Rogers se ha desilusionado y ha descuidado sus deberes desde que un compañero de misión anterior regresó a Estados Unidos y se casó con su novia. Los tres reciben al nuevo compañero de Elder Rogers, Elder Calhoun, un nuevo Elder que es un nerd pero entusiasta que acaba de llegar desde el Centro de Capacitación Misional (CCM) en Utah. Por desgracia, su formación no le dio mucha fluidez en el idioma holandés. Por suerte la primera persona a la que se acerca a hacer proselitismo es un compatriota llamado Kyle.
